Regeneration in our city has made fantastic progress since the formation of Leicester Regeneration Company in 2002, and Prospect Leicestershire will now be taking over the reigns.

Prospect Leicestershire is the new economic development company charged with delivering physical regeneration and growth, business innovation and support, and inward investment across Leicester and Leicestershire. It has been set up by the city and county councils to help drive economic growth across the area. It will comprise staff of the Leicester Regeneration Company and staff from Leicestershire Promotions Limited and the Leicester Shire Economic Partnership.

David Hughes has been appointed as Chief Executive and has more than 20 years experience in regeneration and economic development. He will work closely with the Leicester and Leicestershire Economic Development Company’s chairman, Nick Carter, who is leaving his current role as editor of the Leicester Mercury.

Prospect Leicestershire will continue the regeneration work already started in Leicester, seek to extend it to areas around the city and work with organisations across the county to create new jobs, improve skills and promote business growth.
